The All Progressives Grand Alliance has condemned in the recent attack on its governorship candidate in Ebonyi State, Prof. Bernard Odoh.
The PUNCH reports that Prof. Odoh and his campaign team were attacked at Izzi – one of the local government areas in the state – on routine electioneering.
In a statement on Thursday evening in Abuja, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Tex Okechukwu, the party expressed angst that such a barbaric and wicked attack could be carried out against its candidate who had been known for his gentility and humanness.
The party wondered why anybody would want to harm the Professor of Geophysics who had so far stuck to the Peace Accord signed by political parties as campaigns for 2023 intensified.
